How about moving Indy away from farmer mailboxes, and putting the mail through the mail slot in the front door, like they do in big cities?

What these homeowners need to do is get 8' lengths of scrap rail- the 139lb/yard variety- to attach their mailboxes to. Countersink about 5' of iron in concrete, using the upper 3' for post. Solid as a fire hydrant, and then some. The asshole drivers will suddenly figure out how to plow snow and not mailboxes, and in the future, treat these residents with proper respect.

At least Marion County is taking responsibility for the property damage. A whole row of mailboxes were taken out by a snow plow on my road recently, including mine. When I called the highway department to ask where to submit a claim, I was told that the commissioners recently drafted a resolution exempting themselves from any responsibility. Since when do county ordinances trump state laws regarding property damage? I may be able to afford a mailbox, but what about the little old lady on a fixed income?
